7/4

Look at the date on the clip!

I brushed off snow from my car about 7 last night and while the doesn't seem to be lot of snow on the car (I can't really see it from up here on the 8th floor) I'm not going to bother to do anything today. Monday morning, when other folks have gone to work, I'll have room to drive my car out of it.

Johnny Carson Still Writing Some Late Night Jokes By From 7online.com and the Eyewitness News Team (Los Angeles- WABC, January 21, 2005 ) — Do you miss Johnny Carson's comic monologues on "The Tonight Show"? So does he, apparently. "When he reads the paper in the morning, he can think of five jokes right off the bat that he wishes he had an outlet for," said Peter Lassally, one of his former producers. Sometimes the 79-year-old Carson, who keeps up with the late-night shows from his California home, can't stand to keep them to himself. He'll send a joke every now and then to "Late Show" host David Letterman, who has used some of Carson's jokes in his monologue, Lassally said. "Johnny gets a big kick out of that," he said.

You're welcome to spin on by and dig my car out.

Wow...one day he's making news by feeding jokes to Letterman and suddenly he's passed on.

Does he even remember it?

oh yes....

So what's the word on Thomas Wolfe? I've tried to read him, but could never get into his work. Where should I start with my 5th cuz? His mother was my Grandmother's Great Aunt.

Nice avatar too!

There's a lot of fences around it. A maximum security prison? Looks like it to me. time to dust off the car...

Inside or outside the prison? Cute. Although the prison is about an 8th of a mile from here, on the other side of Rt. 1, it isn't in Rahway and it's named East Jersey State Prison. There is no Rahway State Prison. Who changed that? I think he's a neighbor too.

I'm over in Rahway, I'm trying to decide if I should go out and dust off the car. Maybe I'll make my 1st visit at 3.

I'd love to get out and drive around in this, but I don't want to loose my parking spot.

The sooner, the better!

I'm not sure it's that big of a deal... The 2003-04 season started in early Dec., now it's three weeks into Jan '05 and we're getting out first snow! I'll never forget '95-'96, one storm after another marching across the states...what was it? Nine storms?

Dan's such a good boy, always making friends at that Organissimo BBS....

January 20, 2005 Band Bus Driver Charged With Waste Dumping By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 9:59 a.m. ET CHICAGO (AP) -- The driver of a Dave Matthews Band tour bus was charged Wednesday with dumping 800 pounds of human waste onto a sightseeing boat on the Chicago River last summer. Stefan Wohl is charged with misdemeanor counts of reckless conduct and discharging contaminates to cause water pollution, Cook County State's Attorney Dick Devine said. The charges carry a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $10,000 fine. Wohl, 42, of Selma, Texas, turned himself in to Chicago police Wednesday and was released on his own recognizance, authorities said. According to authorities, Wohl was driving alone to a downtown hotel Aug. 8 when he allegedly emptied the bus's septic tank as it crossed the metal grates of a bridge. The waste poured through the grates and onto the open deck of the Chicago's Little Lady tour boat, which was passing below with more than 100 people on board. Prosecutors relied on surveillance tapes and consulted engineers about the releasing of the waste before filing charges. ``We were satisfied with what they told us that it could not have been an accident,'' prosecutor Robert Egan said. Calls to Wohl's attorney, Mark Rotert, were not immediately returned Wednesday. No one was hurt in the incident, but officials with the Chicago Architectural Foundation, which operates the boat tour, said they have received several angry calls from passengers demanding compensation for clothing and personal items. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan has filed a lawsuit seeking $70,000 in damages against the band and the driver, alleging they violated state environmental laws. At the time, a band spokesman said that Wohl had said he was not involved with the incident. An October-dated statement on the band's Web site said that although ``we still do not have a definitive understanding of what happened,'' the band would work with affected passengers to ``make things right for all concerned'' and make $50,000 donations to the Chicago Park District and Friends of the Chicago River. The band's statement said the incident ``is awful and it goes against so many principles we hold dear: environmentalism, accountability, and, mostly, principles of humanity.'' Prosecutors said the band cooperated in the investigation, including flying violinist Boyd Tinsley, who used the bus, from California to Chicago to be interviewed and bringing the bus back to the Chicago area for inspection.

...nice phrase!

My sister's ex, a friend in Brooklyn and a friend in San Diego. None of them named Art Taylor.

I read this yesterday. It's an interesting look at his personal life, but the book is too fluffy. Not enough protein.
